Dear Maxim,

Your video on “Fear” is outstanding. And, I second the motion with respect to all of the books you have mentioned in your video. Permit me to recommend a few books of which your video reminds me: The Brothers Karamazov, Les Miserables, and two by G. I. Gurdjieff: Meetings with Remarkable Men and Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson (subtitled, All and Everything).

One day, I will write an entire booklet on the concept of “fear”. But for today, time permits only a brief introduction.

At the age of seven, I experienced fear more profoundly than anyone I have ever known. I was transfixed. Completely and totally paralyzed. Unable to move a single muscle. Unable to move even my vocal cords. Thus, I could not even scream for help.

That experience has caused me to contemplate the concept of fear often and deeply. These contemplations have led me to this conclusion: All fear is grounded in the fear of death.

I have for years, lived by the motto: “NO FEAR”. I have succeeded in doing this. I believe that all persons of good will can do this if thy establish the anchor which logical reasoning can lead us to..

And now comes the long , long explication which one day, I will compose at Liam’s Ladder, and republish as far and wide as possible---God, whatever you conceive him to be, willing.

Sincerely,

Liam of Liam’s Ladder

If I might comment ... ALL fear is based on lavk of CURRENCY (Fiat) income. A woman in an unhappy marriage won't leave cos she's worried about income. Individuals will stay in hated jobs cos they don't know if they can get another job that pays necessary to pay bills. Millions of people WANT to pursue certain paths but reckon the income will be dodgy/insufficient. Is Doug Casey fearful of the future? Maybe, but not cos he duzn't have the resources to move to another place that he owns. Fear has its basis on inability to provide for oneself and family, due to to FIAT CURRENCY . Individuals will tow the autocratic/Fascist line cos they're afraid of alternatives. PS watch "SovereignProjectsLive" in UK about "legal" v "lawful". Also the "LawfulRemedieRoadshow" on internet. No, am not a salesperson for them. Most info is free.
